HC Deb 17 January 1974 vol 867 c169W
Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the unusual circumstances of which he is aware, he will grant the request of the Kettering Borough Council to implement an increase in rents of 45p per week from 1st Octber 1973 instead of an increase of 50p per week as provided for in the Housing Finance Act 1972.

Mr. Channon

The Housing Finance Act 1972 covers the circumstances of this case and provides for an increase of 50p to be made.
